Now permanent signs have gone telling drivers they must stick to 50mph or less.

According to the government agency, which is responsible for managing the country’s major road and motorways, the new speed limit has been enforced to reduce accidents on the busy stretch. A spokesman said: “The widening of the A45 along Stonebridge Highway will tackle congestion and improve journey times, benefiting the thousands of drivers that use it every day.

“As part of our commitment to safety, the 50mph speed limit will help to improve safety, reducing collision and casualty rates.”
